Chocolate Orange Tofu Mousse

Success, I wasn’t tempted or distracted to buy anything from the supermarket that wasn’t necessary or overly indulgent. I also remembered to pick up some oranges for this particular post.

So here we have it, the Chocolate Orange Mousse I’ve been meaning to make!

I have to admit, the other mousse I have made in the past, in particular the strawberry one, there was a hint of tofu taste I wasn’t overly happy about. The taste doesn’t bother me, but I guess it may put some people off and sway them away from the power and versatility of the wonderful stuff.

But here, however, no one will be able to guess the full ingredients.

After making deserts, I can’t resist testing the batter or in this case, completely cleaning the entire blender of any trace of chocolate orange mousse with my spoon. This one is a pleaser. I’m never so confident about my food until I have had at least one other person try it, but this one is an absolute exception.

My pouring/presentation skills have a little to be desired, but I am a learner after all.

What really matters is the pure deliciousness of the content.

I assure you it’s a good one and extremely easy to make.

Ingredients: (serves 2)

100g 70% Coco Chocolate

A knob of butter

The juice and zest of 1 small orange or 1/2 Med/Large Orange

150g Firm tofu

1/2 tsp Ginger Powder

1 tbsp Pure Natural honey or Brown Sugar

Directions:

1st melt the chocolate in a double boiler, when it is melting nicely add the nob of butter and honey/sugar

In a blender add all the other ingredients and blend until smooth

When the chocolate has melted fold in the tofu slowly mixing until the colour is even

There with be remains of tofu mixture on the blender, so transfer the chocolate tofu to the blender and blend together scraping the white from the sides to create an even colour.

Pour into small serving dishes, cover and chill until you are ready to serve, one hour + is best.

Hi Mark, I guess is a bit heavier than a mousse. Quite creamy too. The portion in my photo, I’d say, is a little on the large side. I think due to its rich flavours it would work best in a small shot glass.
I hope this helps.
Thanks for stopping by x

It’s Cooking Time!

Here I am.

How would you describe your eating habbits? Do you live to eat or eat to live? I think from this blog of mine you can more or less guess which I'd use to describe my eating habits.
I love to indulge, but I also love to stay healthy. This is where this blog begins. I want to have a good reason to why I cook something, and enjoy experimenting with ways I can make what I eat healthier and more convenient (you'll find a lot of my recipes are made in the rice cooker)
From cakes to salads, I want a reason to justify why I make or eat them. I will also never compromise on flavour, which is why I try to use only the freshest of locally grown ingredients. Even now that I am a poor student I will never give in to value pack offers from huge supermarket chains! If I can't eat a lot, at least I know I consume what I need to stay healthy.
I hope you like my blog. I'm still learning and experimenting, with both cooking and photography, so if you happen to stop by or pop back to take a look from time to time, please feel free to make suggestion, leave a simple comment or to simply rant.
I'm looking forward to hearing what you have to say.
